Kind of want to get more of Kenzotul's back story at some point. Some sort of spy or behind-enemy-lines operator? Saboteur? He clearly did a lot he regrets, and knows a surprising amount about the sabotage game

2021-06-22 23:08:40 +0000 UTCyeah, a few address it but not to the extent it deserves. Maybe that's a big contributor to the sheer suckage of this world (a lot of other things may be factors, too).

2021-06-19 05:27:08 +0000 UTCwell, we don't really know a lot about dip; is Rob painting a generic system skill with his own delusions/hallucinations? Is the personality that formed one that formed in Rob's own wetware after the trauma (human brains do all sorts of strange adaptive stuff). Is it an AI hosted in the system speaking to rob telepathically? I have a fair amount of antipathy towards the system (and whoever is fucking w/ the MC, which may not be the same), but there's a lot we don't know (including "why", which can radically change how one views things). Plus, unlike the silent mental "skills" (system implemented mind altering), Dip actually talks to him, offers suggestions, but lets him chose. That's more like a familiar or a friend than a mind-controlling parasite. The ones that are less up front offend me a lot more, currently.

2021-06-19 05:24:51 +0000 UTCHow medieval are the societies in Elatra though? Obviously their not on the level Earth, but I mean like if other places have more complicated machines like the dwarves from Skyrim?

2021-06-08 05:11:08 +0000 UTCNice tying up some threads there. Also I feel worse for poor Kenzotul. Medevial-ish societies' torture and execution methods could be pretty brutal.

2021-06-07 12:47:17 +0000 UTCMan i love how this story points out the incredible flaw with having the guy who basically committed the most murder be the leader. Most litrpg kinda gloss over that concept.

2021-06-07 12:37:48 +0000 UTCOh man, i fucking hate this. Would have been so happy for dip to go to the farm. Really hope that dip never fucking speaks again.

2021-06-07 12:28:47 +0000 UTCGet fucked Sylpeiros. His only outstanding morals or principles are flawed and rotten to begin with. And he sacrificed them without hesitation. I Feel like elf society needs to finish collapsing before anything worthwhile can be wretched out of it and reforged. Man I love this story

2021-06-07 07:15:31 +0000 UTCHmm, I can't help but think Reviton may have faired better if The Village still existed. i.e. a buffer against the blight. But I guess that wouldn't be a popular opinion with them atm ;D

2021-06-07 07:08:58 +0000 UTCI also love how Rob is so understanding and patient with diplomacy, it's so ironic for the human to be calming down his own diplomacy skill in a tense situation, yet so fitting. I'm looking forward to more commentary from it (hope it gets a name or a nickname), and I'm very excited for the mystery behind it coming to life as well.

2021-06-07 07:06:26 +0000 UTCI love how the guy turns from "Human must die, and traitors will suffer" to "I'll need to do this gently to not suffer PR disaster" to "We need the Human to work for us by any means necessary!".

2021-06-07 07:05:55 +0000 UTCNope, thanks for the catch!

2021-06-07 06:44:44 +0000 UTCI assume you didn't mean to repeat: "Like my own personal boot camp sergeant."

2021-06-07 06:42:04 +0000 UTCSome intresting developments, although I do still wonder what the Seneshcal would have done about Rob if the Dragon Queen never found out.

2021-06-07 06:40:57 +0000 UTCDamn, Rob has so many people in his corner now, and yet he's also gaining so many enemies, it feels like just yesterday when he was just shunned in the village with only Keira as a friend.
